Timeout in xmlrpclib client call?

[gregarican]

Looking at the docs for xmlrpclib I didn't see a way to pass a client
call with an expressed timeout value. What is the easiest way to
accomplish this? Do I have to tap into the underlying HTTP requests
being sent? I want to build more try:except: error checking into my
application and the app currently is blocking for the xmlrpclib client
call. I could capture an HTTP connection timeout message or the like
but was wondering if I could build something into the xmlrpclib call
itself with a shorter timeout threshold.
